The new Customizable Westlaw now makes it especially easy to build and rearrange content and tools at many Westlaw tabbed pages.
- Show All: Some of the database groups can be expanded to show a longer list of databases. Click on SHOW ALL at the top of the database group box to extend the list.
- Move tabbed pages, as well as the tools and content on tabbed pages: Do you use the Black’s Law Dictionary often? Move it up to the top of the left tools column. There are no fancy steps to follow: Just drag databases, database groups, and tools from one place to another. You can even drag items from one Customizable Westlaw page to another. In addition, you can change the order of the tabs at the top of the page by dragging them.
- Add, delete, rename, and edit items on tabbed pages: Customizable Westlaw makes it easy to add, delete, or modify a database or database group. It’s also easy to browse the contents of other tabbed pages or the Westlaw Directory and add databases to the page you are viewing.
- Create a tabbed page from scratch: You can create (and name) a personal tabbed page that contains databases and database groups in any arrangement that works for you.
- E-mail personal pages to colleagues effortlessly: An e-mail link is available so you can share your personal page with a colleague.
- Create “sticky notes”: Write online notes and reminders to yourself in the course of your research.
